I'm hiding from all of you because I may be one of the slowest updaters in the universe. But in any case, here is chapter 5.


Aang screamed as he fell underneath the ground.

"What in the world is going on here?!"

Toph panicked. She hadn't necessarily thought of what to say when Aang asked her that question. She thought on her feet.

In as low a voice as a twelve year old girl could muster up, she said "Follow me."

Aang, not knowing what to do, just followed the mysterious voice. There were several moments of silence

"Where are we going?"

"NO QUESTIONS!"

Aang shriveled away.


Zuko purchased his basket with the money that Sokka had provided for the contestants. He glanced at the list again.

"Sapphire earrings? How am I supposed to know where the jewelry district is in this enormous city?"

He sighed. What had he gotten himself into? He took another look at the list.

"A dress? Where is this peasant going to be able to wear a dress?" Luckily for him, he had passed through that district while shopping with his uncle. He headed off in that direction.


Haru sat down for a break. He had had a very successful day, there were only several items left on the list. The sea prunes were getting to him so he kept walking. He looked at the list.

"A conch shell. I guess you can't buy all the items on this list." He headed towards the port to see if he could find a decent shell.


Jet finished eating his lunch. He was about halfway done with the list, and it was mostly because of that Jin girl. He really needed to come back to this town if he didn't win Katara's heart. He looked at the list.

"A barette?" Jet honestly didn't know what a barette was. He skipped to the next item on the list.

"Shoes... I think I know where those are." He walked off in a hurry. Sundown was in a few hours.


Aang was truly getting frustrated. They had been walking for hours and the mysterious voice rudely cut him off anytime he tried to say something. Then he accidently bumped into the voice in front of him.

"WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING!!"

Aang stumbled back a few steps.

"Sit."

He did as he was told.

The voice stuck something out in front of him.

"Eat."

Toph rubbed her throat. It hurt to try to talk this low. Maybe, she thought, I should just tell him it's me. She quickly disregarded that thought. If Aang ever found out that it was her, she'd never have a shot with him.


Sokka hid in the bushes. Those fangirls were getting insane with impatience!

"WHERE DID HE GO!!"

"KATAANG FOREVER!!"

"NEVER!!"

"ZUKO"S SO HOT!!"

"ZUTARA FOREVER!!"

Sokka stepped on a twig.

"THERE HE IS!! LET'S GET HIM!!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Sokka ran for his life. Perhaps holding this race wasn't the smartest idea.


Sundown finally arrived. The fans had finally calmed down slightly when Haru became visible. He had found every item on the list and his hands were full with his rewards for Katara.

Jet came walking behind him. He was only missing seven items, but he thought was a good day. He placed his loot next to Haru's.

Zuko came next and the fans roared. He only found four items and he was very frustrated.

Aang appeared out of the ground gaining confused 'Huhs?' from the audience. Since he had been underground the whole time, he had nothing.

Sokka got onto his fancy pedestal and cleared his throat.

"Well obviously Haru was the winner of the first event. And as his reward, he gets to spend the entire day with Katara tomorrow. The next event will be the day after tomorrow. Get some rest. You'll need it."


I'll try to make the chapters longer in all my stories. I hope you enjoy. I plan on updating faster now. READ AND REVIEW!! Thank you! :
